if someone isn't ready to be a parent, or if they are too irresponsible to handle the consequences of having sex, are they really someone you think is going to be responsible enough to raise a child?
do you think it's moral for someone to raise a child when they aren't responsible enough to raise? is it moral to have a child if you can't give it the care, love and attention, the emotional support, the education, etc, to be a productive and good member of society?

you seem to be making an arbitrary choice here... why is taking a pill that prevents implantation (after fertilization) any different than a procedure or pill that removes the implanted cells?
if you think making an arbitrary goalpost for when halting a pregnancy is okay and when it isn't, why should your stopping point take precedence over mine?
and if you think that abortion should never be allowed, that your goal post is set at the beginning, you do need to go all the way back, at least to the moment of fertilization. the only reason i'd say you can't go so far back to call masterbation "abortion" (hey, any one of those sperms could be a potential person you're killing) is because women ovulate monthly and you can't really call that killing a potential person because they're not doing it by choice.
